Burly was in town from Chicago for a week and we grabbed breakfast together at Elmo's on my RDO Friday, and then we grabbed a drink with Matt Wallace Sunday night at Bull McCabes. Burly has been a good friend for a long time. He was one of the first guys to befriend me at UNC, and later we shared apartment for a year.

While I was in Montana, Burly went to Chicago to study at Trinity. Now, Burly and his wife, Naomi, are in the process of moving their family (3 boys and 1 on the way) to the Cleveland area, where they will help a quickly-growing church to plant a new congregation in a different part of the city.

Here are a couple of then and now pics for your enjoyment.
